Hi, As a bit of a luddite newbie can I ask what I'm sure is a basic question please.

I have an O2 contract simplicity sim with a web bolt-on. With these settings will it recognise the contract sim , and take the internet I use from my o2 500mb web allowance, rather than charge me per mb used. Obviously I do not wish for a large surprise bill at the end of the month!

Sorry for my ignorance, and thanks in advance

Thanks for the settings

my thanks too

[Guest Cheejy]

Same as, the pics that i recieve are sh*t quality that i can hardly make them out. :)

I think the issue from reading about is that android doesn't identify the handset to the network properly so the network (o2) sends MMS images at the default tiny size ending up with the crap quality mms.

The issue was fixed on the HD2 by xda-developers Linky

I don't want to be messing about with the registry on the sanfran, can any of the gurus here do a simplified guide on how to change the registry entry?

Yeah as long as you have the phone unlocked it will recognise your sim.

I am on a similar contract and haven't been charged anything extra, if you are worried about going over install the netsentry app which will monitor how much you use.

O2 Pay and Go & GPRS Settings

After three days of messing about:-.......

If you don't fancy typing all the info in just unzip the attached file to your SD card and use APN Backup & Restore to restore the above

Many thanks for those. I had been giving Orange a trial period to see how the service was, but they've totally failed to provide free texts or internet on my Dolphin package. I ring them up to see why they've been eating all my money, and they just say "sorry, there's a technical problem. We'll fix it and call you back within x hours".

And they haven't.

So, thanks to you I'm back on my O2 PAYG sim, which gives me unlimited texts and internet for £15 a month. And I don't have to change my number or port it. :-)

I've noticed though, that with these settings, the newly O2 San Fran never changes to 3G. It remains staunchly on GPRS.

I have unticked "use only 2G networks", enabled data connections, but I can't get 3G.

Any hints for me? Many thanks!

is your sim a 3g sim? do you usually have 3g coverage in your area?

[Guest jim144]

I didn't know there were 2G and 3G sims. 3G is definitely available in the places I've been, but previously I only had a LG Cookie which wasn't a 3G phone. How can I tell if the SIM is 3G or not?

EDIT: Update - I went to an O2 shop today and they gave me a replacement sim which is apparently 3G capable. We didn't discuss the phone itself, so I'm waiting for the changeover hour so I can install the new 3G sim and see if it works :-)

I can confirm that Reidy's settings work well on my Text and Web PAYG O2 with the new 3G sim. Picture messages send at full resolution and everything so far seems fine. Thanks again :-)

may be the same here, down to web settings or lack of.

[Guest Kingbhoy]

My web is fine 3G works well, but cant send or recieve MMS i get the message when trying to download a MMS "Currently unable to download please try again later" anyone else had this?

Here are the web settings that work fine on simplicity contract http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f41/o2-...settings-18558/

These settings don't work for me either...

I've worked this one out. 'Reset to Default' on the APNs screen to delete any APNs you have entered, then follow the manual APN set up for MMS and Mobile Web for the desire found here:

http://mobileguide.o2.co.uk/devices/device...d=651&tab=8

This should work straight away.

It seems to be that if you enter in the APN details and then just press back to go out of it, even though it shows the APNs in your list and has the details behind them it doesn't save them, you have to press menu when you have completed the details and press save. If you save after you press back then it doesn't work.

You may want to put the APN type to MMS for the MMS APN instead of leaving it blank to go to default.

The APNs in my list now show to grey buttons so you can swap between the two.

Happy Browsing.

I've discovered after much tinkering that the only way to receive an mms on O2 is if the sender resizes it and sends it as a small pic..prob less than 200 pixels if poss ;)

strange, I don't have this issue, which rom are you using?

O2 Pay and Go & GPRS Settings

After three days of messing about:-

Download APN Backup & Restore from the market and install. Delete all the installed APN's. Navigate to settings/Wireless & Networks/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names. You will find it blank. Click on Menu & create a new APN with the following credentials :-

Name:O2

APN: payandgo.o2.co.uk

Proxy:

Port:

Username: payandgo

Password: password

Server:

MMSC:

MMS:

MMS:

MCC: 234

MNC: 10

Authentication type : none

APN Type: default

Don't forget to hit Menu & Save when you have entered the details.

Then, create another APN with the following credentials:-

Name:O2 MMS PREPAY

APN: payandgo.o2.co.uk

Proxy: http://payandgo.o2.co.uk

Port: 9201

Username: payandgo

Password: password

Server: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002

MMSC: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002

MMS Proxy: 193.113.200.195

MMS Port: 8080

MCC: 234

MNC: 10

Authentication type : none

APN Type: mms

Once again Hit Menu & save. Re-boot your phone & hey presto - GPRS and MMS that works on an O2 Pay & Go sim.

Tested & working on Orange San Fransisco/ZTE Bladein the UK

Hope the above is of help.

hi glad i found this thread ! just to confirm these settings worked for me

cheers

Edit : my phone is now showing an E at the top aswell with 2 arrows under it ( one pointing up and one pointing down ) never ever seen this , my understanding is it means EDGE , im assuming this is the same as GPRS ? someone please explain as my phone has also helped itself to my credit aswell ! only really wanted to recieve mms and now i have this Edge and ive lost credit ( GPRS is switched off )

I'm not clever enough to change roms and stuff..it's as it came from orange..just unlocked..and with never ending problems with mms lol :)

[Guest Nivag57]

Just got a Orange San Francisco found this forum and managed to get phone unlocked easily and got my pay and go O2 pay and go card working. After reading this thread I eventually got Wap to work but despite trying various settings I could not get MMS to work. Re-read thread and tried settings for mms as per post 77 and finally got picture messaging to work both sending and receiving. Thanks to all for info in thread.

Now I have to decide whether to try and get rid of all the Orange content from phone.

[Guest whoop_whoop]

I can't get O2 contract settings working either. Went into O2 yesterday and they surprisingly helped me by using the HTC Desire settings but it didn't work.

[Guest]

I'm in the same boat it seems on my simplicity sim! ARGH

[Guest]

At last! Settings which work on o2 12 month simplicity sim - thanks!

Agreed! Finally someone has cracked it! Happy days! MMS's now working too....... :D

[Guest]

How can a day later MMS or 3g not work! This has been happening loads since got the thing a few weeks ago. Sick of it!
